Dhading district and arpan

Dhading district, a part of Bagmati zone, is one of the seventy-five districts of Nepal, a landlocked country of South Asia. The district, with Dhading besi as its district headquarters, covers an area of 1,926 km² and has a population (2001) of 338,658. The mountain range "Ganesh" is the predominate mountain range located within Dhading. All of the peaks are over 7,000 meters with some approaching 8,000. The 8,000+ meter mountain "Manaslu" is clearly visible from much of Dhading, although it is located within the bounds of Gorkha. The transnational "King Prithivi Highway" connecting Kathmandu and Pokhara runs through the southarn portion of the district making for easy access too the Kathmandu valley. The road parallels the "Trishuli" River.

The famous temple "Manakamana" is located near Dhading. Once only accessible by foot, the temple can be reached by hitching an eye-catching gondola ride for a few American dollars. It was built with Swiss help.

Dhading is 80% farmland and 20% forest; unfortunately most of the protected forest is located near or next to the road which doesn't make for great trekking. But, the western border with Gorkha is bisected by the "Budi Gandadi" river and this river valley is a great entrance to the Himals of Gorkha (with views of the Ganesh range), not to mention one of the prettier rivers of Nepal. The towns of Salyantar and Arughat should get you pointing in the right direction.

The people of the district are primarily Bhramin and Chetri in the south and Tamang and Gurung in the north, with much of the center Newari. The famous King Prithivi Naryan Shah/Gurkha route crosses through Dhading.

[edit] Abstract

The Dhading District Education Office (DEO) has started an initiative to use laptop computers to improve ICT access in remote schools and to improve the management of education information and its use for needs based resource distribution. The XO is well suited to local conditions and can meet both educational and management objectives. The XOs will be used to develop an ICT training programme for a mobile computer lab and to customise existing education management software for use in the field. This will contribute significantly to creating an open platform for both childrens' learning and education management suitable for Nepal.

[edit] Overview

[edit] Background

Dhading district stretches from the Himalayan foothills to the Tibetan border. A number of remote schools can be reached only by foot, two days walk from the district capital, Dhading Besi. Dhading DEO's ICT initiative is particularly targeting these schools with the aim of achieving the following objectives:

1. Improve ICT access in remote schools
2. Improve management of education information and application needs based distribution of resources

[edit] ICT Access

Local government agencies do not currently have the resources or capacity to provide and manage one computer per child in remote schools, but they do have the ability to manage one or more mobile computer labs. The small student numbers in these schools means that a small mobile lab of 10 computers could viably be used to deliver a 1-2 week ICT training programme for a large number if not all students in a school.

[edit] Education Management

The initiative also aimes to improve the mangement of school level information and its application in planning and monitoring. One of the fundamental technology problems in Nepal is the coverage and reliability of electricity and ICT infrastructure. This is a major obstacle to the development of distributed information systems. The robust design of the XO and its low power requirements make it ideal for tackling these conditions. A number of the key education management information systems (EMIS) are built on a LAMP/WAMP stack and with the development or adaption of a robust database synchronisation tool could be used in field conditions.

[edit] Project Plan

[edit] ICT Access

• Initial planning meeting
• Develop training programme
• Trial training programme
• Review training programme
• Project review
• Budgeting and funding
• Mobile ICT lab teacher training
• Launch mobile ICT Lab in 2009/10 academic year

[edit] Education Management

• Initial planning meeting
• User and stakeholder workshops
• Develop user profiles and use-cases
• Define process and software features
• Software development, testing and user acceptance
• Field staff training
• Launch mobile ICT tools for data collection and reporting

[edit] Deliverables

• ICT training programme for mobile lab in English and Nepali
• Nepali education management software customised for use on XO
• Robust LAMP based database synchronization tool (port maatkit to PHP?)

Dhading village tours Nepal

Dhading district lies immediately west of Kathmandu, stretching from the Ktm–Pokhara Prithivi Highway to the Ganesh Himal range and the Tibetan border. With elevations varying from 488 to 7909 m. above sea level, we find sub-tropical, temperate and alpine climates. Average annual rainfall is around 2,121 ml. Dading Besi can be reached by bus from Kathmandu. The trip takes 4–6 hours, depending on the traffic and road conditions. Several rivers, among them the Budhi Gandaki, the Trishuli and the Mahesh, run through the district. In addition to panoramic mountain views of the famous Ganesh Himal, Dhading also boasts such scenic attractions as Bridaing Kunda and Ganesh Kunda lakes and the waterfall at Ganga-Jamuna. Dhading district, like Nepal as a whole, is marked by cultural plurality. Hindus predominate in the lower regions; in the higher areas there live a great variety of ethnic groups, primarily Tibetan Buddhist in culture and religion. The main languages spoken are Nepali and Tamang, with sizeable groups of Magar, Gurung, Newari and Rai-Kirati speakers.

Labour-intensive subsistence agriculture remains the main occupation. This in turn has meant that larger, traditional family groups are still the rule. Wheat and potatoes are among the main crops. Massive destruction of the natural forest area due to over-exploitation and mismanagement has decreased the total forest cover in Dhading. Now, under the concept of community forestry , local forest user groups have been introduced, and today much of the previous degraded forest area has regained its original composition.

Dhading boasts a considerable potential for trekking tourism, which could benefit the local communities and raise the standard of living. As yet, however, very little exists in the way of tourism infrastructure, nor is there any overall management, as elsewhere with Nepal's national parks and conservation areas. As part of a larger project to promote sustainable eco-tourism in Dhading district, the Kathmandu Environmental Education Project has been requested to provide volunteer teachers to a total of seven rural schools. To date, KEEP volunteers have taught at schools in the Sertung, Borung and Lapa village areas.
